Early Fall Boot Shopping? We Recommend These 12 Styles

It feels like just about the entire fashion collective can agree we all love boots a bit more than usual right now. And can you blame us? We are only just coming out on the other end of summer, and somehow boots managed to remain a mainstay throughout the summer season, with that’s sure to be a record number of mini skirts and dresses paired with boots than Instagram feeds have ever seen (but who’s actually counting?). Regardless, the fall season is, alas on its way, and just in case you needed an even further excuse to go boot shopping, timing provides an apt opportunity to justify the activity as it’s the perfect time to get a head start on preparing for the temperature drop.

We’ve reached a point where it feels like every kind of boot that could be trending, is, be it kitten-heeled styles reminiscent of the ’90s (rejoice – comfort and style, at last), ultra statement over-the-knee boots meant solely for turning heads or wellies. Then, there are brands offering up twists we may not hav expected, such as styles with color blocked palettes and sculptural heels. Needless to say, the lineup this fall is looking good. Ahead, here’s 12 boot style you’re about to fall in love with.
